Silver Nano (''Silver Nano Health System'') is a trademark name of an antibacterial technology which uses ionic silver nanoparticles in washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, air purifiers and vacuum cleaners introduced by Samsung in April 2003.〔(SAMSUNG Electronics Introduces Korea’s First “Silver Sterilization Washing Machine )〕 ==Benefits== Samsung home appliances, such as refrigerators or air conditioners, have a silver nano coating on their inner surfaces for an overall anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effect. As air circulates, the coated surfaces contact with the silver ions which can resist any airborne bacteria, which in turn suppress the respiration of bacteria, adversely affects bacteria's cellular metabolism and inhibits cell growth.〔(Silver Nano ) - Silver Nano Health System〕〔(Silver Nano particles Deadly to Bacteria ), Retrieved on 10 March 2008〕 Samsung says the silver nano technology sterilizes over 650 types of bacteria and that "Samsung WM1245A Washing Machine releases over 400 billion silver ions which penetrate deeply into fabrics of any kind and create a coat of sterilizing protection for a maximum of 99.99% disinfection and an added antibacterial effect of up to 30 days after washing".〔(Samsung Silver Nano Health System Gives Free Play to Its 'Silver' Magic )〕 According to Paul Lipscomb, Product Manager, White Goods, Samsung Australia: "The Silver Wash system means that it's no longer necessary to soak clothes in additives or wash at extremely high temperatures in order to sanitise them. This combined with Samsung front loading washing machine's industry leading water efficiency ratings of up to 5A, creates a major saving on the long term cost of running the washing machine."〔(Samsung set to launch Silver Nano Wash system that kills 99% of bacteria )〕 In 2005 the South Korean Consumer Protection Board concluded Samsung's Silver Wash technology was exaggerated in advertisements, due to test results which showed 99.9% removal of germs by similar drum-type washers of LG Electronics, Daewoo Electronics, and Whirlpool.〔(Samsung's Silver Nano Washer Ads Reportedly Exaggerated ), Retrieved on 21 November 2005〕 Samsung rebutted the accusation, saying their products are still superior because they remove 99.999 percent of germs, rather than the 99.9–99.99 percent removed by the other washers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silver Nano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
